Amusements.

1t has always been said by Augusta people
generally that if frst-class series of enter.
tainments could be provided they would be
willing to patronize it. Mr.. c. C. Hunt will
give the people of this city chance to show
whether or not such talk as this means any,
thing. He is now engaged in canvassing the
city for a series of entertainments by the
following celebrated artists:
lst the Welsh Prize Singers These peo.
pie have already attained continental
reputation. They were awarded first prize for
their magnificent performances in the famous
Crystal Palace, contests and since that time
have appeared with success before the finest
audiences of Europe. Whether
the project of series OF entertainments
shall prove success or not, these last nam.
ed artists will appear in our city and will, we
trust, be greeted by one of our most appre.
ciative audiences. Ii the idea of series of en-.
tertainments receives the support it deserves
Mr.. Hunt will arrange to have the following
talent secured;
oSh' A1HCiiidI, NJ HAS Ucel
mentioned in our columns, in his famous re-
ply to Ingersoll.
3rd. Mrs. Scott Siddons, who has been
abroad for nine years and who will need nc
introduction to Augusta people.
4th. The Royal Spanish Troubadours, who
have won great celebrity by the superior
merit of their performances.
The tickets for these entertainments have
been placed at the low figure of 80 80 for the
entire course.
The encouragement which Mr.. Hunt ha.
met with thus far from our leading citizens
gives us every reason to believe that the
proposed course of entertainments will be
success. The subscription book for the
course may be found this week only at the
| store of Mr.. Hunt

1t is said that some of the Boston dsilies
keep constantly on deck a stock of composite
cuts. Whenever noted man dies, or a
notorious criminal is captured one of these
cuts is trotted out to do service as a correct
likeness of the man in question. Thus it lie
that the same cut which would be used one
week to rel resent a Guy Fawkes might do

is said to be one of the most grevous loads

Further discussion of the Wings great
find would be little better than a wrangle
and a tournament of jokes in which the
TINES would be likely to get the better,
when the point is to handy satire, but in
such matter the conclusion must be
from serious facts and criticisms on facts
Here is the whole matter: The Vhg
looking through Judge Christians law
books found statute of 1898, and omit
ted to look for the constructions of that
statute The TINES promptly showed
that that statute was nothing new, and
that of course it had been construed by
courts
When the Wing published its find
1t did so with the charge that Judge
Bond should be impeached and removed
from office either for corruption and
mafeasance in office on the one hand, or
FOR incompetency on the other
We showed the Wing that there was
great force IN the argument that sus-
tanned Judge Bonds right to make the
order he had made, and that in point or
fact wherever the statute had come
before "a court for construction that con-
suuction which Judge Bond had given
had been put upon 1t by other courts.
The point, therefore, was that il would
bea little hard on Judge Bond to i'm.
peach and remove him from Office for
doing that for which there was so much
show OF argument for doing, and for
doing what other United States Judges
had done when required to construe that
section no
The Wig calls on the TINES to pro-
